Recently Thames High School students were given the opportunity to participate in the 48 Hours Film Challenge, and what a fun opportunity it was!
Born from a simple callout for sock donations, Children in Care – Te Manaaki Tamariki is a grassroots initiative supporting vulnerable tamariki (children) across the Thames/Coromandel District.
My name is Olivia McDonald, I’m 19 years old.
At the end of July I am going to America to play college soccer in Nebraska.
My football journey began when I moved to Whitianga and joined the Mercury Bay 11th Grade team coached by Leah Gubb, the first person who truly inspired me to take the sport further.
I’m from Thames and started playing squash at 12, but before I started I grew a love for the sport because my parents have played for many years now.
Noah Greenfield (Table Tennis)
Hi, I’m Noah Greenfield but my friends call me Greeny. I’m 13 years old and I live in Cooks Beach. I love sports, particularly surfing, football and table tennis. This year I’m playing for the Junior Boys Mercury Bay Football Club team, now that I’m at Mercury Bay Area School. Last year, my Whenuakite team lost 6-0 to a Tairua team, but by the end of the season, we won 1-0. I also won the Most Valuable Player trophy that year. I go surfing at Hot Water Beach as much as I can – I love being in the water, talking to friends, splashing around and catching waves.
